How is Belize doing?

.
It might be interesting to compare the coiney naysayers' efforts to preserve the import of paperless dugup artefacts into the US with the comments received on the proposed MOU with Belize. There are currently just six.

Possibly part of the reason is that the AIA webpage neglects to display in an obvious place the link to the public comments webpage which seems a silly omission if it is serious about drumming up support. Here it is:
Link for Comments on Belize MOU.
The list of people who have so far submitted comments is as follows:
Polly Peterson [attachment with eloquent informed letter], Carolyn Freiwald (U. of Wisconsin), Cynthia Robin (Northwestern University, brief, but addresses precisely what was asked unlike the coineys in the other folder), Elizabeth Graham (UC London, also addresses section 303), "Arian", Mary Pohl.

It is notable that the first four have clearly taken note of the scope of the call for comments and that it refers to section 303 of the CCPIA. I would not have thought that one needed to have higher education to comprehend a simple notice - so there must be some other reason why in the other (Bulgarian) folder US coin collectors are consistently showing they have simply not understood what they have been asked to comment on. Perhaps there is something in the corrosion products of dugup coins (benzatriazole?) which befuddles the brain.

Vignette: Belize has the highest concentration of Mayan Ruins in the World, with over 600 sites identified.
